[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She invited her cousin, her 2 closest friends from the competitive sport team she's been playing for, 3 friends from school, [b]3 neighborhood friends[/b], and a girl she's been friends with since they were little.  She could have invited 10 other girls who she still considers close to her, but we set a max.  [b]In the neighborhood my daughter plays with 4 girls.[/b]  She is close with 2 of them and we have all been neighbors for 5 years.  [b]The other girl's family moved to the neighborhood about a year ago.[/b]  My daughter plays with the girl outside but she's not particularly close with her, and she was not one of the girls she invited.[/quote]
OP of course you get to invite whoever you want, and complaining behind your back wasn't nice.  But.  It sounds like your daughter in fact plays with 5 girls in the neighborhood - 2 close five-year friends, 2 not-so-close five-year friends, and 1 not-so-close one year friend.  Am I right?

If this is the case and given the parameters of your party, I would have invited only the 2 close neighborhood friends, but you invited 3.  Knowing that the party included at least one not-so-close neighborhood friend, they are asking, "why not me too?"

My guess is that this will blow over if you are gracious about it.[/quote]
